Relationships between Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Small Dust Grains, H2, and H i in Local Group Dwarf Galaxies NGC 6822 and WLM Using JWST, ALMA, and the VLA

Relationships between Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Small Dust Grains, H2, and H i in Local Group Dwarf Galaxies NGC 6822 and WLM Using JWST, ALMA, and the VLA

We present 0.6–3.2 pc resolution mid-infrared (MIR) JWST images at 7.7 μ m (F770W) and 21 μ m (F2100W) covering the main star-forming regions of two of the closest star-forming low-metallicity dwarf galaxies, NGC 6822 and Wolf–Lundmark–Melotte (WLM). The images of NGC 6822 reveal filaments, edge-bri...
